Hello: Sorry since my answer won't help you too much. Just to say that I'm a user of NVDA from Spain and I'm glad seeing this topic in this group. I know how to translate subscript in Spanish, and also how water expression is said in my language. Hope this considers also that strings have to be translated, and I don't know if every rule has a correspondence in different languages. This is just to say thanks. Kind regards 2022-08-02 18:08 GMT+02:00, Neil Soiffer <soiffer@alum.mit.edu>: > Yes, you are correct (although with spaces). Eg. "cap C 6 cap H 12 cap 0 6" > for the first one.

I've never heard anyone say "cap H subscript 2 > cap 0" for water. It is always "H 2 O". > > Neil > > > On Tue, Aug 2, 2022 at 12:07 AM Eleanor.Crabb <eleanor.crabb@open.ac.uk> > wrote: > >> Hello Neil >> >> Great to see the progress underway.
